Application For Licensure

IMPORTANT: Effective February 20, 2023

The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department has implemented an online licensing system for all Physical Therapy Board applications. This investment will simplify the licensing process, making it easier for applicants and licensees to apply for and renew licenses in New Mexico.

Applications for initial licensure must be submitted through an online portal.
